You forgot to add this:

Fixes: eac9a4342e5447ca ("perf symbols: Try reading the symbol table with libbfd")

This helps, for instance, the stable@kernel.org guys, since their
scripts will scrape this and find that it should also go to whatever
stable releases are based on:

  $ git tag --contains eac9a4342e5447ca | grep ^v[45].* | grep -v -- -rc
  v5.10
  $

Applied and added the Fixes tag,
